Finally with dl_greenarrow

[chloeas]

Chloe took a deep breath as she stepped into the elevator and let it out with a soft groan, "they are doing this on purpose," she told Oliver as she leaned back against the wall, hands on her hips to help balance the weight

Oliver leaned over and kissed her temple lightly, sliding one arm around her back to help her keep balanced. "I know," he murmured soothingly, rubbing her back gently.

[chloeas]

She leaned against him and sighed once more, deeply. "I'm scaring you." It wasn't a question. He had barely said anything after the doctor told her she should go home.

[dl_greenarrow]

A faint smile tugged at his mouth. "No. You're not scaring me," he assured her, punching the button for the lobby floor. "I'm just ready for her to be here, too."

[chloeas]

Chloe nodded a little and closed her eyes, sighing softly then stilling as a thunder shook the entire building, "oh I forgot we were supposed to have tornado weather today. It's probably raining already."

[chloeas]

She took a deep breath and looked up at him then stilled and bent forward as she had another contraction, this time stronger than before, "fuck." She breathed. She'd been trying not to cuss but that was the last worry in her mind right now.

[dl_greenarrow]

His eyes widened a little at her utterance. He raked a hand through his hair. "Listen to me. My fiancee is in labor in your hospital on this elevator. You need to get someone to get us out of here now!"

[chloeas]

Chloe held still as he spoke, but she wasn't hearing the words, she was trying to curl up into a ball as much as she could and trying to breathe.

[dl_greenarrow]

He forced himself to take another deep breath to avoid yelling at the woman on the other end of the line. "Just get someone to get us out of here as soon as possible. Please." He hung up the phone and quickly moved over to Chloe's side once more, reaching out and cupping her cheek in his hand.

A couple of hours later, Oliver was holding the tiny, screaming newborn in his arms, tears in his eyes as he stared down at her. His gaze shifted to Chloe, his throat tight. "Wow."

[chloeas]

She could barely breathe as she laid down on the cold floor of the elevator, her legs trembling, her hair sticking to her face, but she still lifted her head when she heard her daughter crying for the first time, her own eyes tearing up even more.

[dl_greenarrow]

"Are you up to holding her?" he whispered, swallowing hard.

[chloeas]

Chloe swallowed, her mouth dry as she nodded, "I wanna see her," she whispered back, holding a shaky hand out to him.
